APPOINTED.MICHAEL NAZIR-ALI, 44, an assistant bishop in central London; as Bishop of Rochester, the first non-white diocesan bishop of the Church of England; in Kent. The general secretary of the church Missionary Society, Nazir-Ali, who was ordained in Karachi in 1976 and holds dual Pakistani and British citizenship, has written several books on Islamic-Christian relations. Of his appointment he said "I think it reflects the way in which this country has changed."
RANSOMED.ALFREDO HARP HELU, 50, billionaire president and co-owner of one of Latin America’s largest financial firms, Banamex-Accival; for about $ 30 million, paid by his family, after he was held 106 days by his kidnappers, in Mexico city. The release followed a dramatic TV appearance in which Harp’s son, accompanied by a family lawyer and a priest, accepted the kidnappers’ terms unconditionally. At the family’s request, the police did not intervene, giving rise to fears that the huge ransom will encourage more kidnappings and adding to concerns about Mexico’s stability.
ARRESTED.BERNARD TAPIE, 51, flamboyant entrepreneur and one of France’s fastest rising political stars; only 12 hours after being stripped of his parliamentary immunity; on fraud and tax-evasion charges involving the use of his yacht, Phocea; in Paris. The Marseilles Deputy and former Urban Affairs Minister was already under investigation in four other cases, which involved defamation, embezzlement, fraud and a bribery scandal connected to his Olympique de Marseilles soccer team. If convicted on the latest charges, Tapie risks heavy fines and up to five years in prison — yet his political support remains strong.
DIED.MA’MOUN EL-SHINNAWY, 80, master of the modern Arabic lyrical poetry who also wrote the words to more than 1,000 popular Egyptian songs; in Cairo. Originally a journalist noted for his lancing wit, El-Shinnawy co-founded a political-humor magazine in 1950 called Word and a Half, which was closed down during the 1952 revolution that brought Gamal Abdel Nasser to power. In the 60’s El-Shinnawy penned the romantic verse that would bring him renown through out the Arab world.
DIED.JOAN HASLIP, 82, popular biographer of such historical figures as France’s Marie Antoinette and Emperor Mexico; in Bellosguardo, Italy, The British-born Haslip, who spent much of her life in Italy, made a precocious entrance into the World of letters, publishing two novels by the time she was 20. But after being called a "pretty, witty spendthrift writer" by V. S. Pritchett she turned to biography because she was "determined to be taken seriously". Critical and commercial success greeted her 1971 book on Maximilian, Imperial Adventurer, which became a best seller. Marie Antoinette, her 1987 portrait of the guillotined queen, was translated into 10 languages.
